This Friday, Parents’ Day, begins our celebration of Catholic Schools Week. Parents are invited to join us for the morning, beginning with Mass at 8:30. There will be a reception in the hall and then classroom visits. On Wednesday the 24th, we take our first field trip! We will be going to the Albinger Archaelogical Museum in Ventura. As it can be cooler downtown, I would ask that students wear their sweatshirts or jackets to school.
THE WEEK AHEAD:
HOMEWORK (due next Monday): Students will be working on the following ixL skills: Math T 7 and T 9; Language D 13. We are doing fluency #19, and students should be reading non-fiction selections for 20-30 minutes per night.
DAILY WORK
Religion: We continue our study of the 10 Commandments.
Math: We continue work on Unit 4, which focuses upon decimals. Students are to complete Math Boxes on pages 97 and 100 by Friday. We will be ready for the Unit 4 test next week.
Reading Workshop: We continue our unit on non-fiction reading. This week we continue reading about specific topics related to weather, taking notes on what we learn about the assigned topic. Please initial the reading log for all reading done at home.
